Experience the magic of Thanksgiving in St. Louis—the vibrant fall colors in Forest Park, the comforting aroma of a homemade feast, and the joy of a family gathering. This season is meant for connection and revelry.

Flexible Childcare Solutions for Thanksgiving Logistics

Jovie of Downtown St. Louis offers professional support exactly when you need it, helping you navigate common holiday pain points:

St. Louis Festive Fun: Nanny-Led Holiday Activities

Take advantage of the local festivities this Thanksgiving break! Our Jovie caregivers are perfect for managing the crowds and logistics of St. Louis’s beloved holiday traditions, turning a simple outing into a memorable adventure for the kids:

• Thanksgiving Morning Excitement: Start the day with the festive energy of the Ameren Parade downtown. A Jovie sitter can manage the children, ensuring they get the best view of the floats and bands before the big meal.
• Post-Thanksgiving Magic: Kick off the Christmas season with a trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden’s “Garden Glow” (which typically opens right after Thanksgiving). A Jovie nanny can manage the crowds and logistics of this dazzling light display.
• Energy Burn & Fresh Air: Before or after dinner, take advantage of the beautiful outdoors. A caregiver can lead an outing to the Forest Park trails or a local playground, ensuring the kids burn off their holiday energy in a safe environment.
• Local Farm Charm: A day trip to a local spot like Eckert’s Farm (check seasonal availability) for cider and baked goods is a charming, low-key activity for a sitter and the children.
